The rest of the FAQ takes care of that part of the argument pretty well, I think. It details why the GFDL sucks in many and varied ways. My Q&A is just a defence against another sort of whinger - those who will make the logical steps: * Debian wants the FDL to change * They want it to change because the FDL doesn't fit with their guidelines * Why not change Debian's guidelines? My answer only attacks this point. The rest of the FAQ answers the question "Why does the GFDL suck so badly?". - Matt
